Some thoughts

If you spend your life chasing the things you cannot have you will miss the things that you might have had. I am all for perseverance but at what point does it become stubborn determination over the unattainable rather than something you truly want? It sort of reminds me of how long can you believe in Santa Claus. It is great to believe in dreams but at what point do the dreams blur into a place where you want it so bad you are mindless about it and you forget all else. I love dreaming daydreaming especially even for the big things that people long for money, prestige and then real life intervenes and you are who you are. The phrase "you can do anything" is wonderful but at what point do you interject enough is enough? Is it possible to have a realists heart and a dreamers heart in balance with one another? Where do the lines between dreams and reality blur to an unhealthy point or unrealistic one? Being touched by something enough to want it in your life is one thing chasing rainbows until they evaporate is another thing entirely. So the point is where do you put a cap on your willingness to dream or want something to the point that it hurts you? I guess it is the point where you surrender and then spend the rest of your life second guessing everything your heart truly desires. I guess I'd rather be a dreamer than be alive and already feel dead.
